Decent Essays

The floor was a little weird Wednesday, it just had a funny vibe going on. I don’t know if it was because of that one patient and his wife or if it was the nurses. But, it wasn’t right and Kelly and Christina did not receive report on one of their patients because of it. You could tell that Kelly not receiving report threw her off.
